When Answers Don’t Come
Today’s Bible Study January 20, 2012
“What are people that you should think so much of us, that you think of us so often?” (Job 7:17) (See also Ps 8:4).
To Find (look for):
What does this passage tell us that Eliphaz believes about God?
Does Job think this tragedy is brought about because of a sin he has committed (Job 6:29)?
To Mind (key point): During life, there will be times of struggle. James tells us (James 5:13) that if anyone is afflicted, let him pray. To God we must commit our cause. Yet through this great tragedy, Job realizes that his most important need is for God to take away his sin (Job 7:21).
To Bind (apply to our lives): God’s actions are sometimes unsearchable, unknowable and beyond our understanding. Yet, He tells us it is ok to ask him for answers and He promises that when we ask, He will tell us great things we do not know (Jeremiah 33:3).
